Why this helps
Community work gets harder to coordinate when operational updates are buried in a separate platform.
- Make community operations visible in a shared channel.
- Give teammates useful supplied context in the same update.
- Reduce manual status relays between tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brilliant Directories and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis the outcome you want from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to summarize the community event and post its relevant supplied details.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real community workflow event.

Which community events are supported?
